About the Item

A lovely antique 9 karat gold English ring featuring an enamel miniature portrait painting of a young girl. The portrait in profile is painted on a silver medallion, which has some hand etched stippling work that contrasts nicely with the bold black enamel. The enamel on the face, pinkish skin tones and delicate details are very beautiful. The oval medallion portrait is approximately 5/8 x 3/8 of an inch. The portrait has been mounted on a mother of peal shell, which is another nice detail. The ring is a very high quality antique, made with much care and attention to detail, as is customary of late Georgian and early Victorian era jewelry. This ring dates to the early 19th century, circa 1850s. This ring would make a superb gift. It is a fine example of sentimental Victorian jewelry, a gift that might have been given to indicate affection or romantic love. It is made for a ring size of 6-1/4 but can be easily re-sized. It is marked 9ct in the interior of the band. The ring does not come in the presentation box featured in the image, but we have many available through out store, at Kirsten's Corner.

18K Gold Early Victorian Diamond Trilogy Ring with Blue Enamel Details
Located in Venice, CA
This 18k gold early Victorian ring features three Old Mind Cut diamonds encased in blue enamel square details. The diamonds are housed in a square, carved out setting in the 18k gold that creates a gorgeous contrast against the navy blue. The center square is larger, with a punched out format that raises it a layer above the rest of the ring. The deep blue enamel creates a ribbonlike detail on each end of the design. The diamonds are bead set, which enhances their sparkle and gives the visual illusion that they are square-shaped. At a larger size of 10.5, this makes a great unisex ring, ideal for a man or a woman’s middle finger. The ring contains approximately 1/3 of a carat of natural antique diamonds. The center diamond is 3.5 mm, and two side diamonds are 2.5 mm. All three diamonds are Old Mine Cut with chunky shape and large culets. The diamonds are bright and lively, H-I in color, SL2 in clarity. The ring is marked with 18CT and the maker’s mark of “G.TS”. The center square is 3/8” wide and the band tapers down to 3/16” on the bottom. The ring weighs 6.3 grams. Ring size 10.5; due to the enamel, we do not recommend resizing. This could make a beautiful wedding band but is also perfect for anyone who wants a treasured piece of the past. We currently have a women’s ring in our collection that makes a beautiful counterpart to this ring and could make a matching pair of wedding rings.
